NRM North would like to congratulate Louise Foster who has been appointed as the organisation’s new Chief Executive Officer.

Louise brings with her a wealth of experience in government administration, particularly in local government, and has strong community connections in northern Tasmania.

Louise said she is eager to engage with stakeholders to ensure NRM North’s initiatives continue to reflect community needs and priorities.

“I am looking forward to working collaboratively with community members, industry partners and government to achieve shared environmental goals,” Louise said.

“NRM North has established itself as a respected organisation in natural resource management, and I am eager to contribute to its future endeavours. The organisation's reputation for excellence in its field is well-deserved and I am passionate about continuing work that yields tangible community benefits.”

Previously with City of Launceston, her expertise in risk management, legal compliance, strategic planning, and business process improvement resonate with NRM North’s vision for the future.

“My leadership philosophy centres on fostering a positive organisational culture, and NRM North's reputation for maintaining a strong, collaborative work environment is particularly appealing and I am looking forward to joining the team.”

NRM North Chair Pam Allan said the new CEO is committed to ensuring NRM North remains the leading non-government organisation in natural resource management in northern Tasmania.

“I am pleased with the results of our recruitment process and have strong confidence that Louise will excel as our new CEO. I believe she will collaborate beautifully with the existing team to realise the ambitious goals we collectively aspire to achieve,” she said.

“Louise will continue our strong engagement with stakeholders, including both government and non-government entities, as well as the broader community, while effectively working across the various portfolios we have at NRM North.”

Louise commences the new role on January 6.
